A boost for Obama

The jobless rate has fallen to 7.8%, 
the lowest since Obama took office in 2009.

Every little bit of favorable news helps.

    The Republicans have become so inured to their own dishonest political tactics that they assume everybody else does the same.

    No sooner had the better-than-expected jobs report came out than they began saying that Obama's team was cooking the books and had distorted the record.

    Sorry, guys, facts are facts. You boy, Mitt, said it himself in the debate, although he used it as an accusation of Obama. "You don't get to have your own set of facts."

    Oh, how sweet it is, watching the Republican squawk about the jobs report -- '"can't be true," "the Obama team is cooking the books," "the numbers don't add up."

    But in truth they do. This is the same methodology they've been using all along, so the comparison is informative, even if the actual numbers are at best an educated guess.

    The conservatives have been hammering him with the numbers when they were bad; they can't suddently claim they're not accurate now that they're good.
